You CANNOT be prevented from attending a college or university in California solely based on your residency status.  Undocumented students can attend a California Community College, California State University (CSU), University of California (UC), and many private schools.  However, you should be aware that the process of applying for admission to college can be a confusing and expensive process.  Undocumented students should seek assistance with their college applications to insure that they correctly complete immigration-related questions and receive application fee-waivers when possible.  If you think you meet the eligibility requirements for AB 540, speak to an admissions representative at the college you plan to attend to find out how to complete the California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request form (AB 540 Affidavit).
